Discussion
Role of consultation of stakeholders in Tourism planning
Stakeholders in tourism industry can be referred to three things mainly tourist, industry
and lastly host. It can also refer to sectors namely business, non-profit and lastly public sectors

3TOURISM SYSTEM
(Briassoulis and Van der Straaten, 2013). As per WOT that is world tourism organization
stakeholders in tourism industry can be divided into three categories that are tourism industry,
environment support and local support (Richards, and Hall, 2013). WTO can be defined as the
role of tourism industry in establishing new platforms for business, increase in employment,
income and exchange of foreign currency through increase in tourism services (Woosnam,
2012). The role of environment in attracting tourist from different zones which totally depends
on local culture, architecture and nature of the surrounding. Lastly locally government plays a
key role in making certain decision (Zaei, and Zaei, 2013). This ultimately relates to the fact that
the above mentioned stakeholders play a key role in development of sustainable tourism.
Stakeholders in tourism industry can be defined as suppliers, supporting industries, marketing
intermediate along with members of public and local as well as foreign customer (Holden, 2016).
Suppliers generally focuses on satisfying the needs of various tourists. The suppliers aim in
satisfying the needs tourists like space, activity and required products which will help them in
getting better experience (Látková and Vogt, 2012). During this span of time suppliers must be
well aware of the facts like price, quality of services and lastly estimating the uniqueness and
innovation of the product which is offered to various tourist (Goodall and Ashworth, 2013).
Marketing intermediates play the role of middlemen between suppliers and the tourist who are
considered as a customer. Various tourism agents provide necessary information to tourist about
the ongoing activities, space and activities which is offered by suppliers to attract tourist at a
particular destination (Zaei, and Zaei, 2013). The information is usually provided to them in a
package which will be necessary for fulfilling the experience which the tourist is looking. Both
the two sectors that are public and private will play a key role in upgradation of tourism in a
particular area (Mowforth and Munt, 2015). Public sector is responsible for analyzing policies

4TOURISM SYSTEM
and plans along with providing facilities and services in an area. It is more concerned about
upgradation of tourism in a particular area and providing certain functions like developments,
setting rules and regulation on tourism (Zaei, and Zaei, 2013). Private sector plays a key role in
organization of space, products and many other activities. Stakeholders play a key role in
organizing travelling package at an affordable and reasonable price. Stakeholders can also define
as providing information about tourist friendly destination.
Use of Comparative advantage
Tourism industry need some external analysis for checking the opportunities and threats
related to it. Competitive advantage in the technique or method used by various organization for
carrying out activities in a particular way which other competitors cannot realize (Mok, Sparks
and Kadampully, 2013). It is a condition in which competitors are unable to replicate their
strategies which are generally executed by various organization (Holden, 2016). Competitors are
able to collect certain benefits which can organization can easily collect by the help of
competitive strategies (Briassoulis and Van der Straaten, 2013). In last few decades the
importance of competitive advantage has increased a lot. This can be stated as those factors
which are needed by organization for succeeding in business (Han and Hyun, 2015). An
organization has competitive advantage when it has more economic can have for economic value
than its rivals. Economic value can be created by either producing product and services which
will provide greater benefits at same price when it is compared to competitors (Látková and
Vogt, 2012). In other words, it can aim in providing benefits at a much lower cost when it
compared to ongoing competitors (Goodall and Ashworth, 2013). As per competitive advantage
model a company can take necessary steps for improvising the price, quality and delivery of

5TOURISM SYSTEM
goods and be innovative in the use of various process and technologies, marketing and various
techniques involved in services(Richards, and Hall, 2013). It must consider the various external
parameters which is considered to be difficult for any organization to be competitive in an
organization (Ziegler, Dearden, and Rollins, 2012). It is considered to be important and vital for
tourism industry for obtaining, maintaining and increasing competitive advantage through
various resources (Mowforth and Munt, 2015). Competitive advantage can be considered to be
vital for obtaining, maintaining and upgrading competitive advantage through many resources
(Bennett et al., 2012). Raising competitive can be have four stages that are proper analysis of
market situation, building competitive advantage, raising awareness about the product, proper
management of efficiency.
Consideration in having infrastructure
Tourism infrastructure can be considered as a physical element which is necessary for
designing the infrastructure of tourism at a particular location (Látková and Vogt, 2012). Strong
relationship between tourism development and infrastructure has been theoretical proved by
various authors (Briassoulis and Van der Straaten, 2013). Tourism infrastructure is considered to
be basic of tourism development with making use of base for utilization of various resources
available at resources. Importance of tourism can focus on the idea that increasing the advantage
of production and tourism at various tourism services (Mok, Sparks and Kadampully, 2013). If
the tourist wants to reach a particular place, then proper developed infrastructure must be there.
Arrival of tourist generally helps in upgrading the efficiency of human resource at destination
which is required by various tourist in order to feel better during the stay at a particular location
of destination (Ziegler, Dearden, and Rollins, 2012). There is increase in demand of
infrastructure in aspect of water supply, disposal of waste, supply of electricity for providing

6TOURISM SYSTEM
comfort and all type of facility to tourist at a selected destination. In other words, infrastructure
can be defined as a way of public safety, services related to transportation, financial, medical and
other services which is involved in a given population and demand of tourist (Han and Hyun,
2015). Tourism infrastructure can be special importance for long term growth of tourism
(Lawrence, Munasinghe, and McNeely, 2014). Transport infrastructure can be defined as chain
which gives right to access to destination ranging from international to domestic market which is
inclusive of roads, airports and markets (Hunter, 2017). Social infrastructure can be defined as
various facilities related to accommodate tourist and other supporting physical features for
various kinds of activities and services which can easily attract tourist. Environmental
infrastructure in general refer to network of religion state and national parks, marine parks,
reverses which can which the visitors can easily tour. This infrastructure is inclusive of network
regional, state on the market where there is tourist destination (Cabiddu, Lui and Piccoli, 2013).
Social infrastructure receives help by in terms of money by many private sectors, on the contrary
environmental infrastructure comes from state which is inclusive of various public goods. The
formation of tourism infrastructure focuses on increasing complexity of various tourism
phenomenon’s (Mok, Sparks and Kadampully, 2013).
Advantage and Disadvantage of developing tourism at Clippers Bay
